Llewellyn Alton Taylor

Llewellyn “Lee” Alton Taylor passed away Tuesday, January 14, 2025, at the age of 77. He was born to the late Parely and Dorothy Gamble Taylor, in Morgantown, January 9, 1948.
In his youth, Lee moved to Youngstown, Ohio, where he spent many years employed at the steel mill. His strong work ethic never wavered, even after the mill’s closure.
He continued to contribute to his community as a proud member of the Laborers Union Local #125 until his retirement.
Lee was the epitome of a handy man; he could always be found tinkering in his garage, and was never one to sit still. His hands, now at rest, have left a lasting imprint on the world that will never be forgotten.
Lee leaves behind a loving family: his brother, Gaylord Taylor; sister, Alberta McIe; daughters, Crystal, and Robin McKinney; five grandsons, three granddaughters, and five great-grandchildren.
He now joins his parents; his brother, Duane Taylor; his sisters, Alvada and Eldora Taylor; and his daughter, MeShell Watkins in eternal rest.
Friends and family are invited to gather at Fred L. Jenkins Funeral Home from 10 a.m. until the time of service at 12 noon Friday, January 17.
